It's so disappointing what Battlefield has become

I was on the verge of buying Ravenfield (a blocky battlefield-like, but only solo with bots) just to scratch that itch. I'll probably go with Battlebit instead, it looks like dumb messy fun.

In a lot of ways it’s more similar to Squad, to be honest.

Bought it last night and played it for a few hours. Had a lot of fun. Only tried the 127 vs. 127 mode. It is a cluster fuck at times but a lot of fun. For some games I was the squad leader and there was a surprisingly good cooperation between the squad leaders (they have their own VOIP channel). This made for extra fun when three or four whole squads worked together to retake a point.

Will definitely be playing more.

I tried the game and it is a lot of fun. It really sucks that they're moving to FACEIT anti cheat which will break the game on Linux. Oh well I guess I will just keep playing bf4

[–] true_blue@lemmy.comfysnug.space 1 points 1 year ago

Aww really? I was gonna buy the game since it looked fun. Oh well.

Good for them.
I bought a copy, but mostly because I wanted to support a couple of indie developers with a good idea.

[–] MartianInAHumansBody@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Same. Wanted to support now rather than later

I'm in the middle of some other playthroughs, so I'll have to circle back later to really dive in.

[–] Zack99@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Nice, I'm so happy for the dev, project like this deserve praise and success

Ps. I have been playing this game nonstop for 5 days now, make me feel I go back in time to when battlefield was good

Enable EAC on official server and not limited in time.

Been playing this a lot recently. First game in a while that made me want to plug my mic in.
